I'd posted this thread (http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1055413/) back in November when my TGEE produced seeds. When I learned they must be sown immediately, I panicked because I didn't think they'd make it, having been set on a paper towel for a couple hours after tediously harvesting the seeds. I immediately soaked them in water overnight, then spilled them (water and all) into a few make-shift milk jug pots with soil. I covered them in saran wrap, kept them in a sunny window, and here they are today. I actually have three milk jugs like this one. I'd also sent some in moist soil to Leeuwtje in the Netherlands (not sure how they've turned out, if at all).

Any suggestions for how long I should let them go in these containers before trying to transplant them to larger/more individual settings? I have never grown EEs from seeds ... I'm amazed these even made it to be honest. But I am excited. After seeing how big they were last summer, I don't think my husband is too keen on me having all of these in the yard next summer, lol, but I'm digging it! I even thought about taking one into work for some sunny locations we have in my office area. And of course, a few friends have already chimed in that they'd like some for their yards if they do okay through the winter indoors, which (so far) they are.
